The saga of the UFC’s constantly in flux women’s featherweight division continues.
Megan Anderson is out of the scheduled title fight against Cris Cyborg at UFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, Calif., due to undisclosed personal reasons, MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani confirmed Tuesday.
Now, Cyborg will face current Invicta FC women’s bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger in the co-headliner of the card, sources confirmed. The UFC women’s 145-pound title will remain on the line. ESPN’s Brett Okamoto was the first to report the news.
The bout between Cyborg and Anderson was just announced last week, after the UFC stripped champion Germaine de Randamie of the 145-pound title, because she would not fight Cyborg.
